I just realize that Facebook is becoming less and less relevant to me because 90% of the article sharing is done through apps which want me to allow them access to my profile in order to get to the actual content, a thing which will never happen.

It's not such a big deal because most of my "social link discovery" (or whatever you want to call it) was done through Twitter, but it's still annoying, and searching for the title of the article doesn't always work.

Just once, I'd like to see Urraca post on the front page about a Lounge thread.

"Are swans trying to kill us all? In a thread discussing a recent attack by a swan that lead to a man's death, sw!ft argues that he could easily take on a swan on its home turf. Hoos belives that it's probably quite easy to be killed by a swan, while Mhorydyn thinks he could also take on the swan and live.

The rest is just bad puns, but join in and continue the thread in the Lounge!"

My manager and I have been working super well together for the past four months. The 'required' hours for an hourly employee here are 8-12, 1-5, with an hour for lunch. Yes, that hour is mandated. We had an arrangement - I put in 40 hours a week, and I work out how to get that done. I've come in on the weekend to finish a project, I work through lunch to get stuff done, and then I take an hour off the next day. Heck, if I come in a little late, I'll stay past 5 to get it done.

Now, though, my fancy timesheet editor has been replaced with a clock. Clock in, clock out, that's it. No more coming in at 9 and working through lunch. No staying late one day and leaving a little early the next. Even my vacation days were done the same way (if you worked a saturday, don't mark it in the clock and just don't come in one of the weekdays) but now, since you have to clock in, there's no way to do that.

To cheaply show it to vast numbers of unsuspecting people. People who will be driven quite, quite mad by the terrors within it. Becoming perfect fodder for an army of deranged minions, uncaring for their own lives or the lives of others, who will obey any order and perform any task. Thus making the pirate almost unstoppable in his insane lust for power and lucre.

Don't you hate when you have two monitors in a dual monitor setup and one of them has a slightly worse picture? And no matter how much you adjust the brightness or the contrast, it's really an issue that it's just older and less pretty?

A friend's father pirates all movies, good and bad. He actually came up to me one day and asked me if I knew any good ways to pirate movies from the Internet. He was getting tired of the shaky cam movies that his supplier was giving him, and he wanted clean copies for his customers.
